Born in the spirit of "we can do more," LS Charitable is a foundation where the mission is to pay it forward and support the research required to
cure cancer, make people live longer and help the patient and family live better during and beyond cancer treatment. To those involved with LS Charitable, Law’s fight and his passing brought into focus the tremendous reality of cancer and the adversity affecting families across the country. According to the National Cancer Institute, roughly 13,000 Americans are diagnosed with glioblastoma each year. Currently the five-year survival rate of this cancer is approximately 5%; the average length of survival upon diagnosis is a mere 8 months. In the time spent to learn more for our cause, we have been privileged to speak with Dr. James Markert, M.D., MPH; who is the Co-Leader of the O’Neal Cancer Center Neuro-Oncology Research Program. Dr. Markert, who worked directly with Law during his battle, can be quoted stating that ‘while there is no cure today, we will get there.’
Getting there is what we want to accomplish, and our initial effort is a fundraising campaign followed by the Inaugural LS Co****le Tournament to take place on Saturday, April 29, 2023. The tournament will be held at The University of South Alabama Jaguar Training Center and will be limited to the first 36 teams (two persons per) who enter. Cost of entry to the tournament will be $250/team; with the top two teams receiving prizes (1st - $1,000, 2nd - $500.) The day of the tournament will include food, drinks, live music, raffles and a silent auction. All proceeds will benefit neurologic cancer research at the UAB Department of Neurosurgery and USA Health Mitchell Cancer Institute. Please join us on April 29th for a great day of fun, food and camaraderie while raising awareness for neurologic cancers. We hope this annual event will continue to raise awareness and raise money for meaningful causes close to our hearts. If you are unable to join us in April but you would like to donate* as a sponsor or an individual, please send a check to:
